< Jeremiah 44 >

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt —in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis —and in the land of Pathros:
O KA olelo i hiki mai io Ieremia la no na Iudaio a pau e noho ana ma ka aina o Aigupita, ka poe hoi e noho ana ma Migedola, a ma Tahepanesa, a ma Nopa, a ma ka aina i Paterosa, i mai la,
2 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie today in ruins and desolation
Ke i mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Ua ike no oukou i ka hewa a pau a'u i lawe mai ai maluna o Ierusalema, a maluna o na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda; a aia hoi lakou i keia la, ua anaiia, aohe kanaka e noho ana maloko,
3 because of the evil they have done. They provoked Me to anger by continuing to burn incense and to serve other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.
No ko lakou hewa a lakou i hana'i e hoonaukiuki mai ai ia'u, i ko lakou hele ana e puhi i ka mea ala, a e malama i na'kua e a lakou i ike ole ai, aole lakou, aole oukou, aole hoi ko oukou mau makua.
4 Yet I sent you all My servants the prophets again and again, saying: ‘Do not do this detestable thing that I hate.’
A hoouna aku no hoi au i ka'u mau kauwa a pau, i na kaula e ala ana i ka wanaao e hoouna, me ka olelo aku, Ke noi aku nei au ia oukou, mai hana i kela mea ino loa, a'u e ukiuki nei.
5 But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.
Aole lakou i hoolohe, aole hoi i haliu mai i ko lakou pepeiao, e huli, mai ko lakou hewa aku, e puhi ole i ka mea ala no na akua e.
6 Therefore My wrath and anger poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so that they have become the desolate ruin they are today.
Nolaila, i nininiia'i ko'u huhu, a me ko'u ukiuki, a ua hoaaia maloko o na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, a ua anaiia, a ua olohelohe, me ia i keia la.
7 So now, this is what the LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves by cutting off from Judah man and woman, child and infant, leaving yourselves without a remnant?
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, ke Akua o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, No ke aha la oukou e hana nei i keia hewa nui i ko oukou uhane iho, e hooki ae mai o oukou aku, i ke kane a me ka wahine, a me ke kamalii, a me ke keiki ai waiu, mai ka Iuda aku i koe ole kekahi no oukou;
8 Why are you provoking Me to anger by the work of your hands by burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to reside? As a result, you will be cut off and will become an object of cursing and reproach among all the nations of the earth.
I ko oukou hoonaukiuki ana ia'u, i na hana a ko oukou lima, e puhi ana i ka mea ala no na akua e, ma ka aina o Aigupita, kahi o oukou i hele aku ai e noho, i hooki ae oukou ia oukou iho, i lilo hoi oukou i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawaha, ma na aina a pau o ka honua?
9 Have you forgotten the wickedness of your fathers and of the kings of Judah and their wives, as well as the wickedness that you and your wives committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Ua poina anei ia oukou ka hewa o ko oukou poe makua, a me ka hewa o na'lii o ka Iuda, a me ka hewa o ka lakou poe wahine, a me ko oukou hewa iho, a me ka hewa o ka oukou poe wahine, a lakou i hana'i ma ka aina o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema?
10 To this day they have not humbled themselves or shown reverence, nor have they followed My instruction or the statutes that I set before you and your fathers.
Aole nae lakou i mihi, a hiki i keia la, aole hoi i makau, aole hoi i hele ma ko'u kanawai, aole hoi ma ka'u mau kauoha, a'u i kau ai imua o oukou, a imua hoi o ko oukou mau makua.
11 Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I will set My face to bring disaster and to cut off all Judah.
Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, Aia hoi, e kau aku au i ko'u maka ku e ia oukou, no ka hewa, a e hooki ae au i ka Iuda a pau.
12 And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have resolved to go to the land of Egypt to reside there; they will meet their end. They will all fall by the sword or be consumed by famine. From the least to the greatest, they will die by sword or famine; and they will become an object of cursing and horror, of vilification and reproach.
A e lalau aku au i ke koena o ka Iuda, ka poe i huli ko lakou maka e hele i ka aina o Aigupita, e noho malaila, a e hoopauia lakou a pau, a e haule hoi ma ka aina o Aigupita. E hoopauia lakou i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a e make lakou, mai ka mea uuku a ka mea nui, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi; a e lilo lakou i mea hailiiliia, a i mea e kahaha'i, a i mea poino, a i mea hoowahawaha.
13 I will punish those who live in the land of Egypt, just as I punished Jerusalem, by sword and famine and plague,
No ka mea, e hoopai no wau i ka poe e noho la ma ka aina o Aigupita, me ha'u i hoopai ai i ko Ierusalema, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a i ka mai ahulau.
14 so that none of the remnant of Judah who have gone to reside in Egypt will escape or survive to return to the land of Judah, where they long to return and live; for none will return except a few fugitives.”
Aole hoi e pakele a koe kekahi koena o ka Iuda, i hele aku nei i Aigupita e noho malaila, aole hoi hou i ka aina o ka Iuda, kahi i makemake ai ko lakou naau e hoi a noho malaila; aohe mea e hoi, o na mea pakele wale no.
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by—a great assembly—along with all the people living in the land of Egypt and in Pathros, said to Jeremiah,
Alaila, o na kanaka a pau i ike i ka puhi ana o ka lakou wahine i ka mea ala no na akua e, a me na wahine a pau e ku mai ana, he poe nui, o na kanaka a pau hoi i noho ma ka aina o Aigupita, a ma Paterosa, olelo mai la lakou ia Ieremia, i mai la,
16 “As for the word you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you!
O ka olelo au i olelo mai ai ia makou ma ka inoa o Iehova, aole makou e hoolohe aku ia oe.
17 Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.
Aka, oiaio no, o hana makou i na mea a pau i puka aku, mai ko makou waha aku, e puhi i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini hoi i na mohai inu ia ia, me makou i hana'i, o makou a me ko makou poe makua, a me ko makou poe alii, a me ko makou poe luna, ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema: no ka mea, ia manawa he nui ka makou ai, aole hoi o makou mai, aole makou i ike i ka ino.
18 But from the time we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been perishing by sword and famine.”
Aka, mahope mai o ko makou hooki ana e kuni i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini hoi i mohai inu nona, ua nele makou i na mea a pau, a ua oki loa makou i ka pahikaua a me ka wi.
19 “Moreover,” said the women, “when we burned incense to the Queen of Heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ knowledge that we made sacrificial cakes in her image and poured out drink offerings to her?”
I ka wa i kuni ai makou i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a ninini i mohai inu nona, aole anei a makou kane, ia makou i hana'i i papa berena nana, i mea hoomana, a ia makou i ninini ai i mohai inu nona?
20 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, both men and women, who were answering him,
Alaila olelo aku la o Ieremia i na kanaka a pau, i na kane a me na wahine, a me na kanaka a pau loa, ka poe i olelo mai ia ia, i aku la ia,
21 “As for the incense you burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you, your fathers, your kings, your officials, and the people of the land—did the LORD not remember and bring this to mind?
O ka mea ala a oukou i kuni ai ma na kulanakauhale o ka Iuda, a ma na alanui o Ierusalema, o oukou, a me ko oukou poe makua, a me ko oukou poe alii, a me ko oukou poe luna, a me na kanaka o ka aina, aole anei i hoomanao o Iehova ia mau mea, aole anei i komo ia iloko o kona manao?
22 So the LORD could no longer endure the evil deeds and detestable acts you committed, and your land became a desolation, a horror, and an object of cursing, without inhabitant, as it is this day.
Aole i hiki ia Iehova ke hoomanawanui hou aku, no ka hewa o ka oukou hana ana, a no na mea hoopailua a oukou i hana'i; nolaila, ua lilo ko oukou aina i olohelohe, i mea e kahaha'i, i wahi poino, me ka mea ole nana e noho, me ia i keia la.
23 Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD, and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster has befallen you, as you see today.”
No ka mea, ua kuni oukou i ka mea ala, a ua hana hewa oukou ia Iehova, aole hoi i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova, aole hoi i hele mamuli o kona kanawai, aole mamuli o kana mau kauoha, a me kana hoike ana; nolaila i hiki mai ai keia hewa maluna o oukou, me ia i keia la.
24 Then Jeremiah said to all the people, including all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all those of Judah who are in the land of Egypt.
Olelo aku no hoi o Ieremia i na kanaka a pau, a i na wahine a pau, E hoolohe mai oukou i ka leo o Iehova, e ka Iuda a pau ma ka aina o Aigupita.
25 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: As for you and your wives, you have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands your words: ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made to burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Go ahead, then, do what you have promised! Keep your vows!
Olelo mai o Iehova o na kaua, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, penei; i mai la, Ua olelo no oukou, a me ka oukou wahine, ma ko oukou mau waha, a ua hana hoi ko oukou mau lima, ua i mai oukou, Oiaio no e hooko no makou i ko makou hoohiki ana a makou i hoohiki ai, e kuni i ka mea ala no ke alii wahine o ka lani, a e ninini i mohaiinu nona; e hooko io no oukou i ko oukou hoohiki ana, a e hana io no oukou i na mea a oukou i hoohiki ai.
26 Nevertheless, hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah living in Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says the LORD, that never again will any man of Judah living in the land of Egypt invoke My name or say, ‘As surely as the Lord GOD lives.’
No ia mea la, ea, e hoolohe mai oukou i ka olelo a Iehova, e ka Iuda, ka poe e noho la ma ka aina o Aigupita; Aia hoi, ua hoohiki no wau ma ko'u inoa nui, wahi a Iehova, aole e hea hou ia ko'u inoa, ma ka waha o kekahi kanaka o ka Iuda, ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka i ana ae, Ke ola la no o Iehova, ke Akua.
27 I am watching over them for harm and not for good, and every man of Judah who is in the land of Egypt will meet his end by sword or famine, until they are finished off.
Aia hoi, e kiai no wau ia lakou, no ka hewa, aole no ka maikai; a e hoopauia na kanaka a pau o ka Iuda, ka poe noho ma ka aina o Aigupita, i ka pahikaua, a i ka wi, a pau wale lakou.
28 Those who escape the sword will return from Egypt to Judah, few in number, and the whole remnant of Judah who went to dwell in the land of Egypt will know whose word will stand, Mine or theirs!
E hoi nae kekahi poe uuku, mai ka aina o Aigupita ae a i ka aina o ka Iuda, o ka poe hoi i pakele i ka pahikaua; aka, o ke koena o ka Iuda a pau i hele i ka aina o Aigupita e noho malaila, e ike auanei lakou i ka olelo kupaa, o ka'u paha, o ka lakou paha.
29 This will be a sign to you that I will punish you in this place, declares the LORD, so that you may know that My threats of harm against you will surely stand.
A o keia hoi ka hoailona no oukou, wahi a Iehova, e hoopai aku au ia oukou ma keia wahi, i ike auanei i ka oiaio o ke kupaa ana o ka'u olelo ku e ia oukou;
30 This is what the LORD says: Behold, I will deliver Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hands of his enemies who seek his life, just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the enemy who was seeking his life.”
Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova, penei; Aia hoi, e haawi aku no wau ia Parao-hopera, ke alii o Aigupita, iloko o ka lima o kona poe enemi, a iloko o ka lima o ka poe imi i kona ola, me ka'u i haawi ai ia Zedekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, iloko o ka lima o Nebukaneza, ke alii o Babulona, i kona enemi, i ka mea hoi nana i imi i kona ola.
